made to be kind, boys, generous,
magnanimOus. If there is "a boy in
school who has club foot, don't let
him know you ever saw it. II
there is IA boy with ragged clothes,
don't talk about rags in his hearing.
If there is lame boy, assign him
some part in the game that doesn't
require running. If there is hun
CRY one, give him a part of your
dinner. Ii there is dull one. help
him to get his lesson. II there Is a
bright one, be not envious of him
for If one boy is proud OF his talents,
aud another is envions OF them,
there are two great wrongs. aud no
more talent than before. lfa larg
er or stronger boy has injured you,
and Is sorry for il, forgive him. All

suNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY.

"I love herr I love her"
John mentally said,
As he held his umbrella
Der Nary's fair head,
And sighed TO himself,
As the summer rain fen:
"How dearly love her
Inever can tell"
But dear little Mary,
The old farmers pet,
Being glad of her shelter,
And 10th TO get wet,
Chung close TO her lover.
And chattered TO him,
Meath the good old umbrellas
Dark shadowy brim.
They talked OF the season,
They talked of the crops,
The changeable weather,
The failure in hops;
But their fond eyes oft met
Till he murmured: 'rll tell her
The love OF my heart
Underneath this umbrella"
The bushes were many;
The words they were few;
While the raindrops above
Beat a silvery tattoo;
But the story was told,
must truly confess,
And two rosy lips
whispered, lovingly: "Yesf
Now In their fair cottage
(For welded they are),
Among the few treasures
They value to-day,
In soft, silken cover.
(An innocent ruse),
Hangs this faded umbrella,
Too precious for use.
